Greek Chicken Paninis with Black Olives

I love Greek chicken and when I made it last time, there was a little bit of leftovers, which I was excited about. Not a lot of leftovers when it comes to chicken in my house, so this recipe was a great way to use what we already had on hand on a night when I didn't have a lot of time to cook. I tried to keep this simple, nothing too fancy and it's ready in 15 minutes.

Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil and heat a grill pan over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, olive oil side down on grill pan. Top each slice of bread with lightly shredded leftover Greek chicken, half the black olives, 2-3 slices of tomato, a few onion rings, season with salt and pepper to taste and top with cheese and remaining slice of bread - olive oil side up.

Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until bread is firm and golden with grill marks. Serve hot.
